Visual C# Not Freeing Memory
Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me. I am working with large png files, and finding the memory is not being freed after the object is disposed. Are there any know bugs on this issue Many thanks, Bruce Hi James, Thanks. I have had a look and can't seem to find GC.Collect() within the code.

Its the first ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Changesets newbie
In another post Randy miller explained me about baselines and about how tfs implements it, he told me its called changesets, but as far as I have investigated the tool I dont see how to create changesets, or something, Can someone explain me a little about this.

Visual Basic Where is the executable created by ClickOnce Deployment?
ClickOnce creates on the target server an application reference (extension appref-ms) which is used to start the application. I cannot find the executable.
